Stacey Abrams reminded us of the fullest potential of our democracy, inspiring people to come out to the polls like we haven’t seen. If all Georgians who were eligible to cast a vote had been allowed to do so, @staceyabrams would be gov-elect tonight. #VotingWhileBlack
✊🏾
We have no doubt that too many voices were silenced in this election and that the results will be forever tainted by racist voter suppression tactics. Polls showed Stacey Abrams poised to become the nation’s first Black female governor. #TeamAbrams
✊🏾
But 53,000 voter registrations were put on hold in recent weeks for insignificant discrepancies. Seventy percent of those registrations belonged to Black people in a state where African Americans make up only a third of the population. #VoterSupression
✊🏾 Her opponent, Secretary of State Brian Kemp, refused to give up his office overseeing the election despite the clear conflict of interest. Aggressive voter purges and closures of polling places in Black neighborhoods also aimed to suppress Black votes. #BlackVotersMatter
✊🏾
If there is one lesson from this election, it’s that the importance of ensuring every American, regardless of race, zip code or voting history, has the right to vote cannot be understated. ✊🏾
Color Of Change PAC and its partners are not done fighting for the power of Black women or of the Black electorate to bend the arc of history toward justice. Until justice is real, we will continue organizing, training & raising the voices of Black communities across the country.

Ballot chasing with @colorofchange for our fearless leader @staceyabrams ! I’ve text about 2,000 voters. 🇺🇸ALL votes deserve to be counted whether absentee, early votes, provisional ballots, overseas military ballots (which aren’t due until this Monday). 🍑Why does Kemp want to stop votes from being counted?? 🧐The integrity of our electoral process and democracy are being tested. We will keep fighting to make sure EVERY vote is counted AND accounted for! If it can happen in Georgia, Florida, it can happen anywhere! #atlanta#georgia#staceyabrams#votingwhileblack#voting#voters#democracy

We made history on Tuesday night in Nevada, flipping a Senate seat, electing Steve Sisolak to become the 1st Democratic Governor of NV in decades, and passing automatic voter registration! Also congrats to Aaron Ford for Attorney General and Kate Marshall for Lt. Governor!
These wins would not have been possible without the hard work of our organizers, WinJustice partners and hundreds of local members! It all started with a Black Womens Brunch at the beginning of the year where we brought hundreds of Black women and shared a vision for building a community that engages Black voters to get the word out about the upcoming elections.
We opened our Las Vegas community office which became a HQ for calling more than 14,500 voters, texting more than 40,159 voters and knocking on hundreds of doors. Congratulations, Nevada!
